you'll find some 30 Romanian cities joining the 2/11 protests, with almost 20,000 people confirmed on the Facebook page of the protest. I think the real number will be much lower. The reasons? Add to our lack of 'protest culture' the recent resignation of our PM (which will shift the public interest to some other directions) and the temperatures below -15? C forecast for Saturday evening.
I would suggest something similar to the 'public performance tax', so we should pay something to the designers every time we wear their creations in public.

i live in Romania (also in EU :D) and we recently had a similar amount ($4,100) awarded by a court for sharing >200 works. i'm not sure if 'works' means 'songs' or 'albums', but since it's about 66GB, it's more like albums. i guess the only place you can find some details in english it's here:
maybe i'm wrong, but afaik bsa is not hunting private individuals for the pirated software they use on they home computers. they are after the businesses which is sort of commercial infringement.

Off-topic but sort of funny. Check the second paragraph in Dunlap's resume from the company's website:
